Just a little catch up from the past week. I gathered up all the watercolor notecards that I've done so far and packed up the watercolors for a brief bit. I needed to clean up the front room to ready for Christmas decor. I'm very please with how all have turned out but my mind is still whirring with new ideas. This weekend I may get it all out again.
At the studio, what limited time that I've gone in, I produced these three, in oils. I cannot get Christmas out of my head so I am just going with it.
These may be gifts...
This past week I also got to watch Mighty Max for the very first time. It was only for a little over an hour but exciting and SCARY! He still has a feeding tube and a heart monitor which scares the bejeeszus out of me, but we managed. He was quite happy watching Miss Rachel until he wasn't happy. I could see it in his eyes, sleepy. So I picked him up, put him on the couch beside me to change his diaper. Do you know how long it has been since I have changed a little boys diaper, probably 40-50 years! I was very quick though because he got upset very fast and held his breath crying, setting off the monitor! YIKES! I finished and hoisted him on my shoulder and shooshed and hummed, patting his backside and he was asleep in seconds. Whew! But, my poor arms. He is a hefty 27+ pounds and I have bursitis in my right arm, prohibiting me from lifting him or holding for long. Just don't have the strength. Af said I could put him in his bed but I could not stand with 27 pounds of dead weight and grab his feeding bag and monitor to get him in there so we just stayed put. I wasn't too sad about that. He is so sweet and cuddly. The big guy has a mouthful of teeth and today has started cutting a molar! He may be delayed a bit in some milestones but not in growth. Plus he's actually eating small bits of food which is a big deal.
The weekend we finally jetted off to the cabin and hosted Saturday evening's dinner with our little group. I asked what The Hubby wanted to fix and he said beef tenderloins. Okay, so off to Fresh Market to get two beautiful tenderloins and make my credit card SCREAM! They are not cheap but usually what we do once a year for the group, our Christmas present to them.
I also needed to decorate a bit because in a couple of weeks we are one of the host cabins for the progressive cocktail party. I've never decorated for Christmas at the cabin before. I purchased a small tree and went through my ornaments that I thought would be great for the cabin vibe, kind of rustic. It turned out so sweet.
The evening went FABULOUS and everyone had such a fun time. The meal was great, the company awesome and a few gifts were even exchanged early.
Merry Christmas
